Todd Coffey was added in September, and remains on the expanded roster; then, last Wednesday, Melvin added four more righties–former first-round pick Mark Rogers, plus Omar Aguilar, Alex Periard, and Cody Scarpetta. Then, on Monday, Melvin inked lefty R.J. Swindle to a contract, bringing the 40-man total up to 35, with 18 of those being pitchers.
